What a terrible name for a new stadium huh? Levi’s Stadium? It just sounds terrible, doesn’t roll off the tongue good and on a scale of 0-10 on the ‘sucks’ scale, its a straight 9.5. I understand it’s all about the money, I think we all grasp that general concept, but c’mon, can we get some originality and creativeness in these corporate naming rights?

So it got me thinking of what other horrible major stadium and arena names are there across the US? And surprisingly there is quite a bit. So in honor of Levi’s Stadium, here is my top 10 worst named venues:

P.S. Safe to say the NBA is the winner in this top 10, just dominating the naming game. Typical NBA.

10) Tropicana Field (Tampa Bay Rays)

Yes, it is a decent name. Actually strike that it’s a rather good name, but the place is an absolute shit hole, run down warehouse and that affects the name greatly. In a sense it’s bad publicity, carries over to the name.

Have you ever heard of Jobing.com? I surly haven’t. Then again, I am not looking for jobs, as I have my blogging career. But seriously, anything with .com in it should be banned from stadium names. I also love the irony of the name as well, too funny.
